The accelerators at GSI have three injectors that can host six different types of ion sources. Two of the injectors are at the head of the UNILAC linear accelerator, one in the middle. This means that not only several experiments with different ions can be conducted in parallel but also different methods can be employed to vary beam properties:
- Vacuum arc ion sources
- Filament driven ion sources
- Penning Ionization Gauge (PIG) ion sources
- ECR Ion sources: CAPRICE-type
